Today I am sharing my experience with Hotel Loveno. In June I wanted to do some research into accessibility in Italy, to understand what laws govern it, what the minimum and recommended standards are, and how to improve the welcome at Hotel Loveno for people with these needs. We discovered that Hotel Loveno has many limitations imposed mainly by th...
I agree with the points reported, in particular, that we need a different way to measure the efficiency of the tourism sector. More quality, fewer numbers or quantity.Sara
There's a general consensus among destinations and tourism businesses that the industry must “build back better.” But the industry desperately needs new metrics for that to happen.
I strongly believe that this topic is crucial, and for this reason, I invite you to read carefully read the post on my website.
For some years now, we have heard more and more about sustainable tourism. There are many hypotheses about the meaning of this concept, and many projects start with this justification. Do you want to know what we are talking about? I am going to present to you the three main common mistakes in the perception of sustainable tourism in Italy. TYPOLOGY VS APPROACH Typology vs approach means that very often sustainable tourism is considered a type of tourism, a kind of offer. Instead, I’m afraid that’s not right because unlike sports tourism, luxury tourism, wellness tourism and many others, sustainable tourism is a fundamental approach that applies through different strategies to any tourism. The definition of Sustainable tourism is as an approach to tourism that takes into account ecological sustainability, social sustainability and economic sustainability.

Ciao! I am back sharing news from one of my favourite destinations and places worldwide. The update is from one of my favourite organisations in the sustainable tourism sector, EcotourismAustralia.

When extraordinary circumstances, like COVID 19 happen, you have a group of people and businesses that can try to support each other.
A more environmentally friendly approach in the business, first of all, is better because it is good with the environment where we live, healthier, safer, even more beautiful. Also, in the medium and long term is helping the business with a lower fix cost.
Another way the sustainable approach to tourism would have helped is through more inclusive tourism. Here let me clarify what a mean with the word inclusive. I refer not only to people with some kind of disabilities (physical or mental) that for many reasons can find it challenging to have a proper experience, but also not to target just who is already our type of guests.

If Ecotourism Australia were a state, it would have come second in Friday night’s 2017 Qantas Australian Tourism Awards tally in Perth, proving that ecotourism is more than just a niche industry in Australia. Read more https://bit.ly/2IXyGhL
